Taittinger

Maison Taittinger is one of the most prestigious and oldest Champagne houses, with a history dating back to the 18th century. Founded in 1734 by Jacques Fourneaux, the Taittinger family took over the reins in 1932, becoming a symbol of elegance, tradition, and innovation in the world of Champagne. Headquartered in Reims, in the heart of the Champagne region, Maison Taittinger owns an exceptional 288-hectare vineyard, one of the largest in the appellation, allowing it to control the entire production chain, from vine to glass. The Taittinger family's commitment is reflected in their constant pursuit of excellence, meticulous attention to every stage of production, and respect for Champagne traditions, while maintaining an eye to the future. The House is renowned for its distinctive style, characterized by a significant presence of Chardonnay in its cuvées, which gives its Champagnes a unique finesse, freshness, and aromatic complexity.

Taittinger Brut Prestige is the epitome of the Taittinger style, a harmonious blend that embodies the Maison's characteristic elegance and freshness. This Champagne is the result of a masterful blend of over 35 different crus from the finest vineyards in the Champagne region, with a predominance of Chardonnay, complemented by Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. The Brut Prestige benefits from extensive cellar aging, exceeding three years—twice the minimum required by the appellation. This extended period of aging on the lees allows the Champagne to develop remarkable aromatic complexity and a silky texture, while maintaining a vibrant freshness. Each bottle of Taittinger Brut Prestige is an invitation to celebrate, a glass of pure pleasure that reflects the Maison's art and passion.

The Taittinger Brut Prestige presents a brilliant appearance, a straw yellow color with golden highlights and a fine, persistent perlage that forms a delicate crown on the surface. The organoleptic characteristics are complex and balanced. On the nose, it reveals an intense and fresh aromatic bouquet, dominated by notes of ripe white fruit, such as peach and pear, citrus, white flowers (acacia and hawthorn), and subtle nuances of toasted brioche and almond, deriving from the aging process. On the palate, it is lively and creamy, with a beautiful structure and refreshing acidity. The flavors recall the fruity and floral notes perceived on the nose, enriched with a touch of honey and a long, persistent finish with a pleasant minerality. As for food pairings, Taittinger Brut Prestige is an extremely versatile Champagne. It is perfect as an aperitif, but also pairs beautifully with fish and seafood dishes, such as oysters, salmon carpaccio, or shrimp. It also pairs excellently with delicate white meats, such as roast chicken with aromatic herbs, and soft, moderately mature cheeses. Its freshness and complexity make it an excellent companion for special occasions and celebrations.
